Product Description

Product Description

CORSAIR high performance Vengeance memory module 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz 9-9-9-24, 1.5V for motherboards using AMD, Intel dual channel platforms. These Vengeance modules are designed for high-performance systems with extra-large CPU coolers, small form factor system builds, or other space-constrained applications that prevent the use of standard Vengeance memory. Each module is built using carefully selected DRAM to allow excellent overclocking performance, and has a limited lifetime warranty.

From the Manufacturer

Vengeance Low Profile heat spreaders have a reduced height of 1.03-inches (26.25mm). They're designed for high-performance systems with extra-large CPU coolers, small form factor system builds, or any other space-constrained application where standard Vengeance memory might not fit.

Perfect For High Performance and Low Clearance

Choose From 1.5V and 1.35V Models

1.5V Vengeance Low Profile DDR3 memory is designed to meet the memory specification of the 2nd Generation Intel Core processor family. The Special Edition Arctic White Vengeance Low Profile memory modules operate at the ultra-low voltage of 1.35V, for ultra-quiet systems and other low-voltage applications.

Low-Profile Heat Spreaders

Vengeance Low Profile heat spreaders have a reduced height of 1.03" (26.25mm). They're designed for high-performance systems with extra-large CPU coolers, small form factor system builds, or any other space-constrained application where standard Vengeance memory might not fit.

Great for Overclocking

Each Vengeance memory module is built from DRAM ICs specially selected for performance potential, to allow you to explore the limits of system overclocking.

If you're new to overclocking, full support for Intel Extreme Memory Profile (Intel XMP) makes it easy. Add Vengeance to your XMP-compatible system and it can automatically select the maximum possible overclocking performance, quickly and easily.

The Vengeance Family: Outstanding Performance at an Attractive Price

Make your System Build Budget Go Farther

If you're a gamer, a system builder, or just an all-around performance enthusiast, you should demand performance and reliability, regardless of your budget. If you need dependable, overclockable memory at an attractive price, Vengeance is a great choice.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

I chose this memory for my first build because it was cheap and from a well known brand. I also liked that it didn't have the big heat-sinks like on the regular Vengeance RAM which allows room for aftermarket CPU heat-sinks. My PC is used mainly for gaming and Netflix, and 8 GB is more than enough for those needs. The only problem I had was the BIOS detecting them as 1333 mHZ instead of 1600, but a quick change in the BIOS fixed that that. Changing the frequency to 1600 mHz also increased the timings from 9-9-9-24 to 11-11-11-2?, so i had to manually change them as well, so be on the lookout for that. The timings issue is from my BIOS though and says nothing bad about the RAM. It works flawlessly; definitely recommended.

UPDATE (28 Dec. 2012): No problems after more than a year. I eventually brought the frequency back down to 1333MHz and was able to tighten the timings to 7-8-7-22. Stable, no problems.

UPDATE (5 Feb. 2015): Still going strong. Now being used with an i5 3570k and z77 motherboard and XMP profile loads automatically. No problems at all; this is some durable memory.

The main advantage this RAM brings to the table is the Low Profile Heat Spreader attached to the DIMMS. If you are working in a cramped case (like myself, Silverstone FT-03) or are planning to use a large aftermarket cooler, this is the memory for you!

The RAM includes an intel X.M.P. profile for easy configuration. Just configure your motherboard to use the X.M.P profile and you will automatically have your timings and voltages configured for you.

I ran Memtest86+ for 5 hours with no errors, so there should be no problems in terms of reliability and longevity.

I am planning to purchase another 8GB kit down the road, but for now 8GB's will do fine.

There is also a low voltage model that comes with white heat spreaders.

Ordered late Monday, arrived Thursday along with 4 other components using standard shipping. The remaining all showed up Friday. As usual, Amazon did a great job combining orders and I paid maybe $30 shipping in total, for everything. I installed the following, and this part was compatible:

This works nicely with my mobo setting on XMP. Fit nicely in the slots, sturdy and solid. Booted right up with no memory errors.

The thing I liked about these sticks is that it fits nicely under my CPU cooler with no clearance issues. I think the extreme epeen fins on some of the RAM may look fancy, but may not clear your CPU cooler if you're using air cooling. Particularly if you try to slot them in the first slot next to the CPU. These low profile barely clear the fins on the hyper 212 when put in slot one, in this mobo. So if you're considering buying the taller sticks, take this into consideration.

I'm overclocked to 4.5ghz with two 120mm front fans, 1 120mm rear fan, and a 200mm top fan and my mobo and cpu temps are barely above room temp at idle and never come close to any danger zone even at max settings stress testing using Intel Burn Test.Read more ›

i really wanted the bigger version of this RAM that had the vents on top but they wouldn't fit because of my cpu cooler hovers over the first slot. so i decided to go with this one and i'm very happy with it. clicks right in, only problem is you need to go into your BIOS and set it to the right mhz. other than that, you just can't go wrong with Corsair period.

I was changing my Patriot ViperX memory which i could never set to work, and i don't mean overclocked, i mean WORK. It never stay a single week at any frequency or voltage or timing settings, not at rated settings or XMP and not even at default settings. (probably compatibily issues with my ASUS P7P67 PRO board)

This ones were just perfect, plug them in, configure to the XMP profile, and done. Stable since then.

Cons: Don't expect anything beyond the rated specs. It won't go to any frequency beyond 6000Mhz and it won't do better timings than the ones on the specs.

Nothing much to say, it's RAM. I had one 2x8gb kit of these for about 8 months now and they never had any problems. Just recently upgrade my rig with a new PSU and a second GPU so I decided to grab another kit since I was in there anyway. Plus the prices have dropped a decent bit since I ordered the first kit (On sale for $77.99 at the time). I like that it's low profile and has a nice clean look, fits fine under my Noctua NH-D15. Big reason why I wanted this non big heatsink one.

No problems as far as reliability or crashing from these, set to XMP and forget.
